Greetings fellow membors of the internet.

I have a PDF document with fillable fields on it for staff to tick and fill in.

I'd like to make a template out of this document. Is there a way to make it Save As only?
Currently when the close the file, it prompts them to save changes and proceeds to overwrite the file.

P.S.

I already tried password protecting the file with Filling in Form Fields and signing existing signature fields enabled.

Make it read-only in the file system. That is, not an Acrobat thing at all. Use network or system security to protect the file, so it can't be written. Do the same for the folder it is in. If you don't know how to protect files shared on your network, talk to your network administrator, it's going to vary with the kind of file sharing you have.

That is indeed another option. Thanks for that.

I'm sure its possible in Adobe though..

We'll call this plan B.

You're sure it's possible in Acrobat? Do you have any reason to go on for being sure? Certainly, none of the Acrobat security settings affect Save or Save as.
